Problem finding Podcasts and Videos

Makes me realize that we don't have good sources to find podcasts or videos that appeal to a particular group of people, e.g., folks involved in eLearning. I find them randomly through blog posts. But, if I go to YouTube and search for videos, I will occasionally find good ones, but normally it's a needle in a haystack.

You're right: there are several podcast and video directories out there, but I haven't seen any that have job- or field-specific content (videos, podcasts, rss feeds, etc.). You wouldn't necessarily need to host the content - you'd just have to link to it. This wouldn't be too difficult to build, either. Let me know if you need a hand tackling a project like this. Sounds like a great idea! :)

B.J. - you're right that it seems that it should be relatively easy to have lists of resources that would appeal to a particular group of individuals. Seems there should be something that does that already.

Janet - that's a very cool list of resources!

Mary Kay - if I'm looking for content that relates to a person interested in eLearning, human performance, etc. would those places yield much?
